Okta Reviews & Product Details

I like best about Okta is its seamless single sign-on (SSO) and centralized identity management, which have significantly simplified user access across multiple applications. It has reduced password-related issues and improved overall productivity, as users can securely access all tools from one place.The multi-factor authentication (MFA) feature is robust yet user-friendly, helping us strengthen security without adding complexity. From an admin perspective, the centralized dashboard makes user provisioning and deprovisioning very efficient, saving considerable time during onboarding and offboarding. Additionally, Okta integrates smoothly with a wide range of applications, which makes it highly scalable for growing organizations. An added benefit has been improved visibility into user activity, supporting better compliance and access control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, troubleshooting integration issues or understanding detailed logs can be time-consuming, as the interface for diagnostics is not always very intuitive. Improved reporting and easier debugging tools would enhance the overall admin experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Okta is how easy it makes managing authentication and SSO across multiple applications. It provides a reliable and secure way for teams to access different tools without juggling multiple logins. The integrations with many popular SaaS applications are straightforward to set up, and the admin console makes user and access management fairly simple. It also helps improve security with features like MFA while keeping the login experience smooth for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area that could be improved is the admin UI, which can sometimes feel a bit complex when managing many applications or policies. It may take some time for new administrators to get familiar with where certain settings are located. Additionally, troubleshooting authentication or SSO configuration issues can occasionally require digging through multiple logs or settings. Improving the debugging experience and simplifying some workflows would make the platform even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple to set=up and configure, it works really well when you want to standardise onboarding especially when users are spread around locations, it can be used as a an automation platform using pre existing connectors to automate tasks such as new employee/user creation and subsequent administration tasks. The automation can be built via visual UI drag and drop feature hence no need to involve IT or tech users. We started with a basic plan, it can then grow per number of users later on as numbers of sits or requirements grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can hit the workflow or seat limits pretty quickly, especially if you’re a heavy user and rely on it for more than just password management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Okta also makes it easy for me to log in to essential systems like Costpoint, both online and on mobile, without having to remember multiple passwords. In addition, I can quickly access UKG through Okta, which keeps all of my HR information—such as payroll, PTO, and personal records—organized in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Okta is that I can’t customize or style the app. I’d find it really helpful to personalize the interface or tweak the layout so it better matches my preferences, but the platform simply doesn’t offer those options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love using Okta as it provides an intuitive and clean UI, making the experience seamless, especially with its Single Sign-On feature. All the applications appear as easy-to-find tiles after a single login, which means I don't have to remember different passwords or where to find my apps. I appreciate the ability to request access to an app directly from the Okta landing page, and it meets all the security and compliance needs for my job. Integrating Okta with all my essential tools like AWS, Zoom, Loom, and Benepass is fantastic, and the initial setup was incredibly easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Single sign-on reduces the need to remember multiple passwords, speeds up access to systems, and improves security through consistent authentication controls. It makes daily access to work tools quicker and more reliable, especially when switching between applications throughout the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If there’s an outage, MFA delay, or sync issue, access to multiple applications is affected at once, which can temporarily block work. The setup and troubleshooting process can also feel complex for non-technical users, especially when permissions or devices change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Okta as the entry point to access all of our systems and for multifactor authentication. It helps solve security issues and alleviates the hassle of managing many different passwords, allowing us to use just one. The app allows us to log in on either a phone or computer, which is very convenient. Everything seems to work just fine, from the initial setup with Okta's assistance to several years later. We don't have very many issues at all, and when we do, support is pretty quick. It's almost set it and forget it. I appreciate having it integrated with all our platforms, which means when we add a user, they automatically get pushed to all platforms, making things streamlined. The Okta implementation team helped us make decisions and get everything set up in about a week, which was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
